Not to be Disputed.
Exchange.

Although President Lincoln knew what was due to him in his official capacity, he was by no means cere- monious man. His self-respect was SO well-founded that he could not only forgive liberty, but could ap- preciate joke of which he himself was made the object.
 A member of congress had obtained from MT. Lincoln promise to issue a certain war order, but the president made the condition that MT. Stan ton must be told about it. The mem- Der went on his errand.
 "Did the president say he would issue such an order?" inquired the secretary.
 "He did"
 "Then he is fool-a great fool p replied Stanton.
 The member returned to the presi- dent and faithfully repeated the con- versation.
 "Did Stanton say 1 was fool?' inquired Lincoln.
 "He did"
 "Then think am fool, for Stan- ton is generally right" was the char acteristic reply of the president.

Shakespeare Too Idealistic for Anything.

 Shakespeare caught the idea and clothed it in pretty language when he made Juliet say: "Parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall say good night till it be tomorrow" But Lord love you she never said anything of the kind; of course she didn't. She said something like this: "But mercy, how late it is getting There, must say goodnight. Oh! did 1 tell you what nice time we had at Mr. Ty balt's house night before last? Such fun! I thought I should die a-laughing {! What a fellow that Mercutio is How he does run onl There, you really must go now. Do you remember that day we met at the bali? How you did stare at me. There, don't say you didn't. I had on my cream colored satin that night. Do you think that Sarah Capulet is as pretty as they make her out? don't; but dear me- good night, Romeo.

Lines.

Life builds in youth her future In the days
Where infant thought with giant wonder dwells
And thronging fancies full of pleasures como,
The swelling soul is heaped with mysteries.
And manhood wears the garments of his might
While weary age with fearful terror draws
His footsteps to the grave. The mighty dreams
Of tender childhood blossom into deeds,
And all the yearnings of the bidding soul
Delight the ways of men, and fon6ly fill
The nations with their blessedness and peace.
The deeds we do and hopes that heap the heart
Are nourshed in the morning of our days.
Life is fond fruitage of the younger years,
The ripened harvest of the longngs sown
When loving nature smiled and stationed youth
The great unsceptered monarch of the world
And man, the king of all he conquers here.
The chimes unmeasured of the great unknown
Are countries for the conquest of his arms;
The vague. unsettled valleys of the mind,
The dim, uncertain mountains of the heart
And all the kingdoms of the possible,
Are waiting for the scepters of his might
His words of kindness and his deeds of love-
The cradle holds the promises of life,
The destinies of mankind and the world

We hear no more the roll of drums
The tread of marching hosts;
No more the screeching shell is heard
Along our Southern coasts.
We hear no more the bugle's notes
Calling our brave to arms;
No more the idle pillow is seen
Among our Northern farms.
But yet, DER sn this Northern land
Our soldiers graves seen,
And when this holy day comes round
Well keep their memory green.
Well strew bright flowers on every grave
Where sleep our noble dead
And place a little starry flag
Above each soldiers head.
This is no hard unwilling task,
We claim this duty light;
Well ne'er forget the boys that fell
While battling for the right.
To SOW was theirs; to reap is ours;
All honor to our braves;
Well nourish we'll the few that's left,
Then decorate their graves.
Place flowers on every soldiers grave,
A flag Ger every head.
Then will the God above look down
And bless us for our dead.
